Selective Admission Programs

Please review the selective admissions webpage and checklist for your program of interest. You can access program webpages via the navigation ribbon on the left, and your checklist can be accessed through your SAS account. Please refer to the FAQ “How Do I Access the Program Checklist” if you need assistance in locating a program checklist within your SAS account.

All official transcripts from every college you have attended must be delivered and on file with BCTC before you submit your packet. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Colleges attended through dual credit
• Colleges where no credit was earned for attempted courses
• Colleges where only W’s were earned.

To be official, the transcript must show final grades from all periods of attendance and must have been issued to BCTC directly from the sending school.

In some cases, your official high school or GED transcript may also be required before submission. You are responsible for ordering all required external transcripts and ensuring they are received by BCTC prior to submitting your packet and the posted deadline. Electronic delivery through National Student Clearinghouse or Parchment is strongly preferred.

If you have already submitted transcripts for general admission to KCTCS, additional copies are not required. Transcripts from other KCTCS institutions do not need to be submitted. Unofficial transcripts, photocopies, or other non-official documents do not count toward packet completion and should not be included.

Please refer to your program’s checklist and selective admissions webpage for specific requirements. We will accept official paper transcripts included in packets, but it is much easier to simply have your official transcripts on file with the school before submitting your packet.

If you attended college in another country, a course-by-course evaluation may need to be completed by a NACES-member agency before you submit your packet. Please contact BL_Admissions@kctcs.edu if you are unsure whether or not this applies to you.

Packets are processed and entered into your selective admissions account within ten business days of submission. At that point, you can review your file status in the selective admissions system.

You can view your file status under the File Status tab in your SAS account. If your packet is complete, “Yes” will appear next to Complete. Please note that your status will not be marked complete until all required materials, including final transcripts for the current semester, have been received.

You must attend a mandatory preadmission conference for each program to which you submit an admissions packet. Attendance is required each academic year. If you attended a preadmission conference in a previous academic year and did not enroll in a selective admissions program, you must attend a new conference in the current academic year.

You can schedule the USA exam through the BCTC testing center.

You can schedule the ATI:TEAS exam through the ATI:TEAS website.

You can schedule the ACT through the ACT website.

1. Log into your KCTCS student self-service via MyPath.
2. Enter “test” into the search bar at the top of the page.
3. Click “view my test scores”.
4. Print a screenshot of your official ATI:TEAS results listed in your self-service.

Alternatively, you may submit an official score report issued by our testing center. The report must have a raised seal.

Either method confirms that your scores have been received and entered by the Testing Center. If you have ordered your official ATI:TEAS scores to be sent to BCTC but do not see them in your account, contact the Testing Center at BL_Testing@kctcs.edu.

It is your responsibility to order your official ATI TEAS scores and to confirm that they have been received by BCTC before submitting your packet.

1. Log into your KCTCS student self-service via MyPath.
2. Enter “test” into the search bar at the top of the page.
3. Click “view my test scores”.
4. Print a screenshot of your official results listed in your self-service.
   1. Your ACT or SAT composite scores are listed as COMP.
   2. Your ACT super score composite is listed as SSCOM. We usually only receive super scores if you ordered your scores to be sent to us electronically directly from ACT.

If we don’t have ACT/SAT scores on file for you, or if you have a higher score to submit, you can order these to be sent to us electronically via each testing agency’s website. If your ACT scores are listed on your official high school transcript, you can order the transcript to be sent directly to BCTC electronically from your high school or include an official transcript in your packet. Scores must be on file before you submit your packet. Alternatively, you may submit an official paper score report issued directly from the testing agency in your packet if you have one.

Please contact us at bl-selectiveadmissions@kctcs.edu as soon as possible so we can look into the problem.

If your packet is incomplete when you submit it, it will not be considered for admission unless all materials are received before the submission deadline. Please do not submit your packet until you have collected all required materials. Be sure to fill out your checklist completely before you drop off your packet.

Once the selection committee has made a decision, your acceptance status will be updated in the Selective Admission System (SAS). You will receive an automated email at the address listed on your SAS account, notifying you to check your status (accepted, declined, or alternate). You will have one week from the date the decision is posted to log in to SAS and accept your offer or alternate position. If you do not accept within one week, your spot will be offered to another applicant. The time frame estimate in which we expect to be able to post your acceptance decision is provided at your mandatory preadmission conference, but it is best to check your SAS account regularly regardless to avoid notifications.

Once complete, you will return your packet to one of several locations by the posted deadline: 

1. The Office of Admissions, 500 Newtown Pike, The Den - Preferred Location - all packets will be processed from this location.
2. The Lawrenceburg campus
3. The Danville campus
4. The Winchester campus

It is strongly recommended to avoid waiting until the deadline to submit your packet, as late submissions are not accepted. Please check office hours prior to dropping off your packet. None of these in-person drop-off locations have an after-hours drop-off option.

If the deadline falls on a weekend, or a day that a campus is closed on that date, ensure that your packet is dropped off by the final business day ahead of the deadline.

You can also mail the packet. Please ensure that you have adequate postage. Packages must be postmarked by the published deadline for consideration. It is strongly recommended to utilize a form of postage that enables you to track your packet in transit.
